Good morning, this is Mr. Vernon.  I wanted to call and give an update on our AC situation.  I am sure your Cubs shared the difficulties that we were having with our AC yesterday.  Our maintenance department was able to secure a temporary unit that will allow our school to be in operation today and tomorrow.  The school is currently cool and we are prepared to see our Ready, Responsible, and Respectful Cubs for the next two days. Have a great day.

Good Afternoon Deep Creek Families! This is Principal McElroy calling to invite all our parents to attend our SAC and PTO meeting on Tuesday evening at 5:30pm in the media center. This is an important meeting where we will share our school improvement plan and discuss the future of our uniform policy. We hope to see you there. In addition, Tuesday evening you will receive a phone call asking you on a scale of 1-9 if you recommend Deep Creek Elementary to a friend or family member. Ratings of 9 mean you would recommend us to your family or friends. We appreciate you taking the time to give us this important feedback. Our cookie dough fundraiser comes to an end on Wednesday, October 3rd. All fundraiser monies must be turned in by end of day Wednesday. Attached to the email of this phone message is the link to our Cub Connection newsletter. We hope you take time to read through all the great things happening at our school. On behalf of all of us here at Deep Creek, we thank you for your support. At Deep Creek our Cubs are ready, responsible, and respectful leaders!
